I closed the door in my room and leaned against it. I exhaled and was grateful when I opened my eyes and found out that Angela wasn't inside.

I didn't waste time as I headed to my closet and packed one change of clothes.

I feared that if I spent the night in my dorm, I wouldn't be able to hold myself back from what I wanted to do. It was unfortunate that I had nowhere else to go but to my father’s house.

Dominic wouldn't leave me alone or let me be with anyone I wanted while he fucked Kaila behind my back.

It seemed so unfair that I had to oblige him in whatever he wanted because he didn't want to break the bond between us.

He knew I wouldn't be able to resist him while we were tied together. No matter what he did to me, I would obey.

It pissed me off that he had such control over me, and even sent Matteo away because he didn't want me to be with anyone else.

So, I just wanted one night... One night away from him and the control he had over me.

When I was done packing, I headed out of my room and went to find an Uber.



When the car dropped me off outside my house, I stood outside the gate for a moment, contemplating whether I should go inside and confront my father.

But I also thought that I could request another Uber and return to the school. My father wouldn't even know that I had come to see him.

But fuck it, I rolled my eyes.

I wanted to see my father and finally confront him about my mother and his divorce from Evelyn.

There were so many cracks that neither of them shared with me.

"Ugh, screw it," I muttered under my breath as I pushed my thumb into the fingerprint sensor and the gate opened. I walked down the porch and when I reached the front door, I paused.

I thought of turning back again, but I rolled my eyes and pushed the door open. I only prayed that my father and new girlfriend were not indecent.

I wasn't even thinking much when I walked in, nor was I expecting anything. But as soon as I walked into the living room, my heart shattered.

"Dad?" I gasped when I saw him with Evelyn.

"Ugh, great," Evelyn groaned. "Did you call her here because you don't want to face me and give me what has been worth my time?"

"Aveline," my father said as he walked toward me. "You're home." He didn't wait for me to respond before he wrapped his hands around me.

"I can come back some other time if you're busy," I answered as I pulled away and looked at Evelyn. It was so weird how close we were yesterday, and then she could hardly look at me today.

She avoided me as if I were a plague.

"No, you're home. You don't have to leave, not this late. I will take you back to school tomorrow morning."

I leaned toward Evelyn and sighed. She folded her arms across her chest and looked so unbothered to see me.

"If you're looking for someone to get angry with, I suggest you focus that anger on your father," she hissed. "He's the one who brought me a mistress's child to raise as my own when he knew very well I wouldn't be able to."

"You answered all the questions I had, but I just want to look at you one more time because this would be the last time I ever stand before you as your daughter," I answered, scoffing. "And I want to thank you for raising me so well that I never even thought you didn't love me."

"Aveline," my father muttered as he leaned closer. "We will talk about this, and I will explain everything to you."

"What's there to explain, Dad?" I asked, turning to him. My voice broke. "I am an illegitimate child, born from your uncontrolled urges, and now I will forever have this hurtful knowledge that my own mother whom I thought loved me—" I paused and looked at Evelyn. "Has never loved me."

"Stop overreacting, Aveline," she said as she rolled her eyes. "Sometimes people have the tendency to say they love you a lot even though they don't know the depth of those words. The only difference between them and me is that I never cared when I said them. Those words were as useless to me as they were to your father when he said them to me."

"Honey, I'm home!" A voice called out from the hallway, and my father’s jaw tightened when he looked at us.

"This will be the best night of my life," Evelyn chuckled. "Your other mistress is joining us."
